Kathy was in awe of the dinning hall, the place glowed golden and happiness was bouncing off of every corner possible.

It made her happy.

She, along with all the other first years, were being led to the front where a stool with a hat was placed.

The nerves became even more obvious in her mind as she walked down, older students all looking at them.

Oliver Wood, her brother, met eyes with her and gave her a comforting smile which sent a radiation of confidence spread through her.

At least he was here and not sneaking off to play quidditch, yet.

They made it to the front and paused as the professor who had been leading them pulled out a scroll, and lifted up the hat.

"Now, when I call your name. You will be spotted into your houses" The professor reminded them.

"Cecile Abbott" she called and a random witch approached the stool with confidence, she sat down and the hat approached her head.

"GRYFFINDOR!!" The hat roared and everyone applauded as she skipped her way to the table.

The hall returned to silence as McGonagal read out the next name.

"Chris Tastla" she called out and a young wizard trotted up to the platform and sat down slowly, the hat was placed upon his head.

"SLYTHERIN!!"

He smiled before walking over to the correct table and taking a seat next to fellow Slytherins who welcomed him.

"Sylvia LeStrange" McGonagal announced some people muttered under their breathes, some even turned to each other to share their opinions.

She sat down on the stool with her head down and tried to ignore the whispers, at least that's what it looked like to a curious Kathy.

Charlotte has even held onto Kathy's robes in anticipation, slightly scared but excited at the same time, which was a common theme for Charlotte.

"RAVENCLAW!!" The hat screamed and the hall slightly cheered for the saddened girl, Kathy made sure she clapped louder so it would bring comfort to the girl.

The girl stumbled her way to the houses table and sat down sadly.

"Charlotte Longbottom"

Charlotte gulped and clenched Kathy's robes tighter.

Kathy turned to the frightful girl and squeezed her hand before pushing her towards the platform.

Some giggles and snorts were heard across the hall and it made Kathy's glare settle on the guilty ones, before she turned to watch her new friend.

After a few silence moments the hat exclaimed, "RAVENCLAW!!"

Charlotte grinned happily and slipped over to the table, Kathy being the loudest one to clap for her.

The applause stopped again another boy was called forward.

"HUFFLEPUFF"

And then it happened.

"Kathy Woods"

Of course, people chatted to each other about the 2nd year who was obsessed with quidditch, and how the same wizard swore he'd become the worlds greatest quidditch player.

Kathy gulped hard before walking up to the platform, where she sat down carefully and gripped onto the chair.

"Ah! Making friends in the first day?" The hat said in almost amusement, "your family all on Gryffindor I see...but you do have some smarts to not want to be the same, equal. Not cunning enough to be in Slytherin...too kind, too humble...ah! I know!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!!" It roared and Kathy gleamed before the hat was taken off her head and she was allowed to move over to her own houses table.

When she sat down she was welcomed by some older students.

"I'm Penelope" a black-haired witch announced from her right, she gave a look to an older boy across the table.

"Right" he stumbled in his words, "I'm Cedric diggory"

She smiled and introduced herself, before glancing over to Charlotte's table to give her a reassuring look.

Charlotte waves from where she was sat talking to the LeStrange girl and turned back to her conversation.

Welcome to her new home, Hogwarts, Kathy thought before talking to her new friends from Hufflepuff.
